WNR3500l v2 dead

i did a stupid thing! tried to flash whit original firmware when i had tomato on it. orange lamp is on and i cant login whit 192.168.1.1. when telnet its says.could not open conn on port 23. firewal disconnected. any ideas? thx for any help

set static ip 192.168.1.2 on PC and ping a router:
ping -t 192.168.1.1

run putty serial, select your COM port, speed 115200 and open. Plug power to router you should see bootlog. Pressing CTRL+C until you will see cfe>
then write tftpd. Server tftpd on router will be running and yuo will see answer for ping.

Hello Shibby20,
I've been doing the whole procedure and I'm able to contact the router with Putty but from there I think I'm encountering a problem I can't resolve as I'm not able to sent the firmware from pc via tftpd. Using Windows 7 I get the following message when doing Ctrl+C and maybe you know what I'm doing wrong here. Hope you can help.

Small correction to Shibby's notes. This is on linux, and/or if you have a blinking green liught... the orange one is not a problem either, just need to do some hard resets... dont think this one can get bricked form flashing.. only if well it gets damaged, not from fl;ashing.

no serial cable needed, just LAN cable.

U can either do like shibby says, in 1) auto flash it from tftpd. Or as a tftp client too,

u dont need to change any name.

deps: iproute2 + tftp-hpa

eg, iface eth0:

sudo su
ip link set dev eth0 up
ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev eth0
ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0
ping 192.168.1.1 (need to get rsponse from router.. if you don't, then you still need to reset it or play with it, till you do).

i have been trying to be able to ping the router but now after a lot of attemtps i dont think this will work the way u described.
The only time when i get a route to 192.168.1.1 is when i hold the reset button in power off/on and release the button, thats when i get
